Spherez

cults3d

Spherez are cool little storage containers for unique and visually interesting things. The outer shell rotates freely 360° to open and close the opening into the center storage section. A simple, fun, and practical storage solution for coins, jewelry, nuts/bolts/screws, keys, stationery items, and more. Great to use yourself or as a small unique gift. And they look good printed in any color. This is an easy and worthwhile one-piece print that takes a while to print. The Spherez outside diameter at standard scale is 80mm. The internal storage area has a diameter of approx. 72mm. This can be scaled up or down a small amount if required, however scaling will affect clearances that may affect the result (parts fusing or being too loose). The design also features a circular groove in the base that accepts and retains a common small 3mm square section rubber band. The print is far less likely to move around on the surface it's being used on. The rubber band creates a degree of surface tension/grip so it won't slide so easily. This is very handy as it enables users to rotate the outer shell with a small amount of downward force without holding the base part. There is a designed-in support ring that can be cut/snapped away easily post-printing. With a well-sliced file printed on an accurate, well-set-up machine, this should take less than 30 seconds. Then the outer shell should break free with minimal effort/pressure and spin straight away. Refer to the images provided for additional information. This has been test-printed lots of times to ensure most members get a great result. The rubber band system works great when you get the right thickness rubber band and it has a moderate amount of tension on it around the groove. This tension helps hold it in place. Refer to the print settings and images provided for additional information. Post images of your prints in use for other members to see.
